The Place
One of the most exciting modern dance venues, the Place was the birthplace of modern British dance. It concentrates on challenging, contemporary and experimental choreography. Behind the late-Victorian facade you’ll find a 300-seat theatre, an arty, creative cafe atmosphere and six training studios. The Place sponsors an annual dance award, ‘Place Prize’, which strives to seek out and award new and outstanding dance talent.

Royal Ballet
Although the Royal Ballet's programme has been fluffed up by modern influences, classical ballet is still its bread and butter. This is where to head if you want to see traditional performances such as Giselle or Romeo & Juliet, performed by stars such as Sylvie Guillem, Irek Mukhamedov and Tamara Rojo. There are same-day tickets, one per customer, and half-price stand-by tickets.
